The cars:General Lee Dodge Charger
Batmobile
Mad Max Ford Falcon Interceptor
Back to the Future De Lorean Time Machine
Starsky & Hutch Ford Gran Torino
The results: [/b]
5th place
Starsky & Hutch Ford Gran TorinoHighs: Powerful, sounds great, and Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller signed the inside of the decklid.
Lows: It’s a ’74 Gran Torino.
The Verdict: More pimp adjacent than actually pimp.
4th place
Back to the Future De Lorean Time Machine[/b]
Highs: Lights, smoke, and a flux capacitor that’s a dead ringer for the original.
Lows: It’s tough to get to 88 mph, and there’s no rearward vision. The Mr. Fusion is fake—so you’ll need plutonium.
The Verdict: Great on film, a chore on the road.
3rd place
Mad Max Ford Falcon Interceptor[/b]
Highs: An unusually sweet-driving car with which to face marauding biker gangs.
Lows: Right-hand drive, the blower is fake, and if you need parts, they’re on the other side of the planet.
The Verdict: A postapocalyptic icon good-natured enough for a preapocalyptic world.
2nd
General Lee Dodge ChargerHighs: Real muscle even without the Dukes’ drag. It’s quick, and it’s the same color as the shorts on a Hooters waitress.
Lows: Awesome thirst for race gas,
nonexistent brake feel, hard to hide
from Roscoe. Can only fly once.
The Verdict: The mountain may get ’em, but the law never will..
and in 1st place
Batmobile[/b]
Highs: Looks amazing, loads of gadgets that work, shoots flames out back.
Lows: Dead steering, lousy acceleration,
capes get stuck in doors.
The Verdict: Any Bruce or **CENSORED** is a caped crusader.
